ABSTRACT Background Malaria is a major public health issue in East Africa, leading to widespread illness and fatalities, especially among vulnerable populations such as children under 5 years of age and pregnant women. Artemisinin‐based combination therapies (ACTs) are the primary treatment modality; however, their efficacy is undermined by the ...

Adherence to a Six-Dose Regimen of Artemether-Lumefantrine for Treatment of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Uganda. [PDF]
Measuring baseline levels of adherence and identifying risk factors for non-adherence are important steps before the introduction of new antimalarials. In Mbarara in southwestern Uganda, we assessed adherence to artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) in its ...

Research into advanced therapeutics for malaria are rare. We investigate how linker chemistry governs the release kinetics of the antimalarial lumefantrine from polyethylene glycol conjugates. A clear correlation between diacid linker length and drug release rate is established, enabling rational design of conjugates with controlled release.

The HSP90/Akt pathway may mediate artemether‐induced apoptosis of Cal27 cells
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in oral and maxillofacial regions. Recent research has found that artemether can inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of cancer cells, although the mechanism is not clear. The present study

The stumbling block for the continued, single-drug use of praziquantel (PZQ) against schistosomiasis is less justified by the risk of drug resistance than by the fact that this drug is inactive against juvenal parasites, which will mature and start egg ...
